Read, understood and helped nothing

Thank you guys, .fixcodes works and the "Process ANSI Codes" in mIRC do also.

HAND!

spock is right, .fixcodes will fix it for this time, but if you are looking for a more permanent fix, read the file entitled TEXT-SUBSTITUTIONS located in your eggdrop's ~/doc directory to understand what you must alter to completely fix

Thank you, it works!

For a single session. Is there a way to automate that (serverside)?

Because if I use pure telnet, the codes are okay.

I need this just for /ctcp eggy chat.

Ok, my fault and bad example with that banner.

Here what happens if I type .help:
/dcc eggy

Code:

[20:50:33] <>  who away quit whom me[20:50:33] <>  page match motd bots newpass[20:50:33] <>  chat handle whoami echo strip

/ctcp eggy chat

Code:

[20:48:26] <> [1m who away quit whom me[0m[20:48:26] <> [1m page match motd bots newpass[0m[20:48:26] <> [1m chat handle whoami echo strip[0m

You understand what I mean? With DCC the "control codes" (don't know if they are called so) show up correctly, else not.

Any hints?

in reality, there are only 3 preset variables that control what you see when you dcc chat or telnet to the bot, you really should read what is inside of your ~/doc/text directory, and then adjust these variables to suit your needs.

Code:

set motd "text/motd"set telnet-banner "text/banner"set use-telnet-banner 1

as you can see, eggdrop is prepared to use a different file for the motd and banner, but it is not mandatory. You can just as easily set telnet-banner "text/motd", or just set use-telnet-banner 0. Hope this helps

Hi out there!

I searched but found nothing about this or did not find the right words:

If I connect to eggy with /dcc eggy all works fine.
But if I try to connect to eggy with /ctcp eggy chat I can auth myself but the whole "menu" and helpfiles (.help) are screwed up.

Examples:
With /DCC

Code:

[18:49:47] Use .help for basic help.[18:49:47] Use .help  for help on a specific command.[18:49:47]  Use .help all to get a full command list.[18:49:47]  Use .help *somestring* to list any help texts containing "somestring".

With /CTCP CHAT

Code:

[18:48:06] Use [1m.help[0m for basic help.[18:48:06]  Use [1m.help [0m for help on a specific command.[18:48:06]  Use [1m.help all[0m to get a full command list.[18:48:06]  Use [1m.help *somestring*[0m to list any help texts containing "somestring".

So what's happening here?
Tested with 1.6.16 and .17 on 2 different computers.

Thank you in advance for any hints/help!

Greetings.
